I wasn’t sure about that one-liner, but it works if you know how pearls are made. (It’s a defense reflex to build some kind of calcium barrier around a grain of sand or other microscopic detritus that finds its way inside the shell.)

Awesome! Now we finally some more normal mornings of Fogherty’s family moments!
And it’s awesome that Max parents said No at the same time, urgh! I hate it happen when both parents say that at the exact same moment, but well that’s how life is, and well I hope to see more Andi’s action in the comic!

Hey Caanan, you should put more Max-Max dad situations, but well like always it’s up to you!

i love the one liners in the heading. i always read them first and they always make me smile or laugh outright. then i get another laugh as i see how they fit the strip. i remember a discussion about who reads the headings first or last. i was surprised how many people read the strip first and the max header last.

Max’s dad is certainly the most under-represented character in the stories, which I’m always trying to figure out ways to change. I have some ideas.

Andrew, the one-liners are sometimes annoying, because I might have the strip completely done, except for that one thing, and it sits there while I rack my brain for an hour for one little joke (that some people have said in the past to not even notice.) So, both that, and writing the strip itself, have their share of pain.
